This place has consistently delivered the most incredible customer service experience, way above and beyond expectations, that I have ever had in my life.....automotive service or otherwise. Ever heard of an auto center that would rent a tow truck to drive 200 miles to go get your stranded car, bring it back to their shop, and fix it for you immediately? You have now.
You know that finding a mechanic you trust can be very difficult. I live in NY but always went back to my mechanic in Philly for anything I needed because he had earned my trust over many years. One day, my starter went, so I couldn't get the car to Philly. I had to go somewhere local. I was extremely lucky to find Orlando and Tyrone 32 just down the street from my home. Over the last year, Orlando and his team have provided stellar work, fair prices, total honesty and the best customer service I could ever imagine.
A few weeks ago, I had once in a lifetime customer service experience that I have been telling family and friends about ever since. I was driving back to New York from South Jersey when I heard the sound of a part coming loose under my hood, and my car immediately started overheating. I pulled over and got the car towed to a local shop in the area. They told me that the power steering pump that had been installed by Tyrone 32 had a pulley that was not screwed on correctly, and that it literally flew off the car. Since this part is connected to the cooling system, it not only caused steering issues but also caused the car to overheat. They said this was caused either by the mechanic not screwing the pulley on correctly or that they got a defective piece from the manufacturer. It certainly wasn't by fault and these folks said I should not have to pay for it. They told me to expect major resistance from the mechanic because it is obviously not in their best interest to take responsibly for anything.
When I went to Orlando at Tyrone32 the next morning, I was prepared for this type of conversation but Orlando's response was the complete opposite of that. He said that they got the part from the manufacturer with the pulley already screwed on. So, clearly he could have blamed it on the manufacturer. Instead, he took full responsibility and said he would take care of everything and that I would be charged zero for whatever needed to be done (which included replacing a melted radiator, the power steering pump, and several other things that added up as a result of the car overheating). Here's the icing on the cake....Orlando took it upon himself to personally get a tow truck and drive 200 miles after the shop closed to personally get my car, bring it back and fix it. As promised, they fixed everything that had to be fixed at no charge within two days and even threw in a car wash and oil change for free. When I told him how blown away I was by this experience, he just said "you're my customer. I have to take care of you and make sure you and your wife are able to get to work in the morning".
I tell this story to anyone who will listen. They are all blown away and say this type of customer service is unheard of. I hope this means tons of new business for Orlando and Tyrone 32, not only because they deserve it but because all of us deserve a trustworthy and dedicated mechanic like this. read more
